Einweihung der Beluga I als Mahnmal in Gorleben

Mit einer feierlichen Zeremonie weiht Greenpeace das Aktionsschiff „Beluga“ in Gorleben als Mahnmal ein. Das Schiff soll ueber dem Salzstock daran erinnern, dass Gorleben kein sicheres Endlager für hochradioaktiven Atommuell sein kann. Aktivisten hatten das rund 32 Tonnen schwere und 24 Meter lange Schiff zuvor in elf Einzelteilen nach Gorleben transportiert und rund 100 Meter vor den Toren des Erkundungsbergwerkes wieder aufgebaut.
